Transition is tough. It’s really difficult to make a life change, particularly when you are deeply rooted in the lifestyle in which you currently live. Great opportunity accompanies transition, but transition also presents great obstacles. That presents a bit of a dilemma. Do you choose to strive for the opportunity that lies ahead or do you choose to take the easy route and avoid the obstacles, remaining unchanged and stagnant? Which road will bring you lasting happiness? Which road will push you to become a better person? Which road leads to a life worth living? Are you ready for a change? Which road will you choose?
